Injuries and heavy damage to homes as Iran fires multiple missile salvos at Israel
|
[IsraelTimes] Five missile attacks target north, center, south and Jerusalem; woman lightly injured after impact on home in Rishon Lezion; fragments land near Knesset, Church of Holy Sepulchre
Iran fired several salvos of missiles at Israel on Monday, with impacts damaging homes and an apparent cluster bomb injuring one person in the central region of the country.
The Iranians launched five barrages at Israel after midnight and into the afternoon. Though air defense systems worked to shoot down the missiles, some warheads impacted on residential areas, as did debris and fragments from interceptions.
Meanwhile,

The Iranian attacks on Israel set off sirens in the north, central, and southern regions, and in two attacks, also in Jerusalem. Multiple impact sites were reported across central Israel, including a home in Rishon Lezion. On Thursday afternoon, a man in Jerusalem was lightly maimed after touching a missile fragment, and there was damage to several buildings from falling fragments.
The Fire and Rescue service said a large chunk from an intercepted missile struck a home in East Jerusalem, causing damage. Other fragments landed near the National Library, which is close to the Knesset, and in the Old City, near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
During the attacks, another warhead hit a home in the central region town of Shoham, causing serious damage, while a third impacted on Route 431, forcing the closure of one lane.
The attacks came as the Israeli Air Force launched a new wave of "extensive" Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s in Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz, the IDF announced. The military said the strikes were targeting Iranian regime infrastructure sites.
Among the targets hit and destroyed was an Iranian space facility in Tehran. The site was used to develop various military space programs, including the Chamran-1 satellite, as well as "capabilities to strike satellites, posing a threat to the State of Israel’s satellites and to space assets of other countries around the world," the military said. The military released images showing the site before and after the strike.
Earlier, the military said the IAF struck and destroyed Khamenei’s aircraft at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport overnight. The IDF said the plane had been used by Khamenei and other top Iranian officials "to advance military procurement and manage relations with axis countries through domestic and international flights."
The military added that the destruction of the "strategic asset" is a blow to Iran’s "coordination capabilities" with proxy groups, its "building of military power, and the regime’s rehabilitation capabilities."
Khamenei and 40 other top Iranian figures were killed in the opening strikes of a joint US-Israeli air campaign against Iran that began on February 28. Iran has responded by firing missiles at countries hosting US bases in the Middle East, and Israel.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran had shown it was ready to take the war with Israel and the United States as far as necessary.
"I think by now they have learned a good lesson and understood what kind of nation they are dealing with, one that does not hesitate to defend itself and is ready to continue the war wherever it may lead, and take it as far as necessary," said Araghchi during a weekly foreign ministry briefing.
142 INJURED IN 24 HOURS
The Health Ministry reported that over the past 24 hours, 142 injured people were taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran. Among those treated in hospitals, three were in moderate condition, and 134 were in good condition. Five were treated for anxiety. The ministry did not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some may have been sustained by people trying to reach shelter rather than as a direct result of missile fire from Iran or rocket fire from Leb
 ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects....
The ministry said that since the beginning of the war with Iran on February 28, 3,369 people have been admitted to hospitals, 81 of whom are currently hospitalized. Among those hospitalized, one person is at death's door, seven are at death's door, 14 are in moderate condition, and 59 are in good condition. The ministry’s figures included both civilians and soldiers.
